Drawing of two poppies Caption: LEST WE FORGET

On Remembrance Day, I think of my grandfather, Daniel Alberta McCoy, a WWII gunner, whose plane was shot down over Belgium.

His story reminds me that remembrance is not just about war. We must honour those who served by committing ourselves to peace, justice, and humanity.

Re: America, Dark Helmet said it best:

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

It really sucks that evolution has yet to give us a freshwater cephalopod.

Are Australian municipal politics less connections/personality relations based or was this just a peculiarity of a particular campaign?

@johnquiggin.bsky.social, I was once talking to someone who ran an independent council campaign in an Australia city that elects Councillors, usually partisan, by ward with STV.

Their campaign didn't spend time courting hyperlocal community leaders.

institutional investors really need to start planning to divest from this company, if the consumer rubes want to pay him a trillion dollars to keep driving the company into the ground, let them drown

What about folks who quip that Thanksgiving was almost a month ago? 😉

competing organizational units not well aligned with another u say?

Mr. Lahey, Norm Martin, and Randy at a Thompson, Manitoba pool hall circa 2007-08.

Black-and-white photo taken by Norm Martin of preteen Dylon posing for the chopping block with a historically-costumed staff person at Festival du Voyageur in the early 2000s.

My dad died three years ago.

Here's a photo of him with Mr. Lahey & Randy when they visited Thompson circa 2008.

2nd photo he took at Festival du Voyageur in the very early aughts where he asked one of the historically costumed staff to pose for a morbidly-construable photo.

They need to reboot Peep Show except make Mark Corrigan a cynophobic, soft left social democratic teetotaller who drinks diet pop by the litre and has strong opinions on land use.

This is my opinion for no particular reason.

I think there are people who decide to run because they think they should be leading, and want an elected office to prove that to everyone. But what got so many of us excited to show up for Emma was she was already leading, often in quiet ways, always in community-building ways. (3/)

Yes. @emmaewood.bsky.social did a wildly brave thing in sticking her neck out for all of us, putting herself forward in this climate of vitriol and reaction, and proved that the good person *can* win, and commandingly so. It is worth it to run. (1/)

Wow, Elmwood-East Kildonan... What an absolute honour. I'm still processing what just happened!!

While many of you are likely yelling “GO DINOSAURS!” or “GO PTEROSAURS!” I'm yelling “GO PREHISTORIC MAMMALS and Bergmann's rule!"

Congratulations to @emmaewood.bsky.social on winning the Elmwood-East Kildonan byelection. Emma brings to council not only her many years of community activism, her positive nature, but also her strong belief in community. This is not only a win for her constituents, but a win for all of Winnipeg.

Emma Durand-Wood wins Elmwood-East Kildonan byelection | CBC News Residents in Winnipeg's Elmwood-East Kildonan ward cast ballots Saturday in a byelection for a new councillor, following the death of Jason Schreyer in April.

Woke up with sore feet but all well worth it. We poured our hearts into this one and it feels so good to see the result. So proud of the work we did and optimistic about where we are going in our neighborhood and the work Emma will do.

Plus turquoise really was the best of the colours out there.

A strong, positive campaign was well-received by Elmwood-East Kildonan voters.

We now have a diligent, collaborative, and hyper-competent listener in @emmaewood.bsky.social representing Elm-EK at City Hall. Couldn't have wished for a better result. 🙂

Heart beat hate, work beat whining, relationships beat rants, shoe leather beat lawn signs. Elmwood-East Kildonan won big last night, and so did Winnipeg.

Katy Perry's rapprochement with Taylor Swift has really ended up being a nothingburger in terms of long-term cultural impact, hasn't it?

Congratulations to @ariel-gordon.bsky.social!! So exciting!

Did some leafleting for @emmaewood.bsky.social in Elmwood.

Every time I do leafleting, I am reminded of how hard postal workers work. And I just had the one leaflet to pass out - not stacks of sorted mail.
